Yeah again he was a moron and stacked two pucks on top of each other and that's the reason it slid right off. The guy is on this forum, @gsfdream . I'm a fan of his youtube channel, Bullets Garage

Plus one, you need the rubber block with the groove in it to jack it up.

Wow, I hate to say that was hilarious, but in a sick way, I laughed out loud. I can only think of Forest Gump saying "Stupid is what Stupid does". I don't quite know what he was doing, but he had the rear wheels on ramps, and then was raising the whole weight of the right side on the stacked hockey pucks. Dude, like climbing a ladder, you better have three points of contact at all times to be safe. I was just glad the dog was not sniffing around under the car. I will straighten my jack points out and use the rubber slotted hockey puck if need be.
